In retrospect, I am glad I posted this thread. Some of this is information I wanted, but for some reason, it would have never occurred to me. So, thank you to all, particularly Expat, Vero, and Imfd95.

I've always thought that resolute certainty about one's type is the true warning sign.

Good that Expat agrees with me that it is a mistake to try to type yourself by trying to find your base function. The critique is directed at Joy and others, who are defending such a bad and totally unreliable typing method.Yes, I fully agree. I think it's often a problem with the base function, which is why I think it's a mistake to try to type yourself by trying to find your base function first. People who are (say)base may not even recognize in themselves the
I guess I'm retarded. But to answer your question...yes. Even what I perceive as an objective view of myself is no doubt warped by my inherent subjectivity. My actions do not necessarily reflect my emotions/thoughts. When I try to reflect on my actions/processes objectively, these observations are still being filtered through the paradigm of my ego. So I can never really be sure of what I'm looking at. I believe I could likely come close to typing myself, if I could actually observe my actions...maybe a videotape of an entire day in my life would be helpful.

Are there any Eights on this forum?lol @ you, Jimbean.
And not only do most people think you're ISTj, but the current word on the street is that you're *actually* a 6w5.
Keep drilling at him. If he breaks, he's a counterphobic Six.
No shit. Every piece of Enneagram literature concerning Sixes and Eights mentions something about mistyped Sixes.
lol dee, so f* typical for an idiot (C)(R).
Rework your definition of Se. It's poor.
LOL

Duh. You, me, Jimbean (and probably mercutio) are Eights. But Nick doesn't think that, does he? I want to know what he thinks.
